I started my research for this list of low-spec co-op games for myself personally. It was the start of the pandemic and everyone was still doing lockdown and isolation measures. As many others did, we looked to Discord and video games to keep each other sane(ish).

With most groups of people you can’t really rely on everyone to have the best hardware and, in my opinion, competitive games just aren’t as fun. Especially if you are the gamer of your group as it puts you at a massive advantage over your non-gamer friends. Hence low-spec co-op games!

First we tried Among Us. A game which rocketed to popularity during the start of the ongoing pandemic in no small part due to streamers like Pokimane, Disguised Toast and Valkyrae. Not only were people playing this ‘Mafia’ styled game amongst their own groups of friends but they were also consuming hours of content watching other people play it too.
